MVI

Just over a month ago, MVI had the pleasure of attending Classical:NEXT in Budapest, Hungary. It was incredibly inspiring to experience the energy, creativity, and expertise brought together at this international conference.

MVI was proud to promote Atlantic Canada and spotlight the incredible artists, venues, and festivals our region has to offer, while also building exciting new connections in international markets.
None of this would be possible without the support of Arts Culture NB Music / Musique NB, Music PEI and Music Nova Scotia

We would also like to extend a thank you to our musicians participating this year, Bekah Simms, .yeshe , Jason Nobel, Blackwood, .reilly.52 , Sarah Hagen, Catherine Dowling, ,
